Light and shade: hope plus fear

In episode 94 of The AI Fix, Mark digs into what really scares people about AI and is surprised to learn it isn't robot dogs with flamethrowers, while guest host Alfred Nutile shares his three steps to being less terrified of AI.

Also in this episode, Mark has a bath with his Mac; Yann LeCun gets a billion dollars to prove the entire AI industry wrong; Atlassian fires 1,600 people to fund its AI pivot; and somebody finds a way to make money from Spotify, and then promptly gets arrested for it.
